1996 Docklands bombing

The 1996 Docklands bombing occurred at 10:01 PM on 9 February 1996 when the Provisional IRA launched a truck bomb attack at Canary Wharf in London, England during their bombing campaign on mainland Britain. The IRA sent warnings to the British 90 minutes before the attack, but they failed to successfully evacuate everyone in the area, resulting in 2 people being killed and 200 wounded. The attack ended the seventeen-month ceasefire agreed upon by both the IRA and United Kingdom, with the bombing coming after the UK demanded that the IRA lay down their arms in exchange for peace.
